Last night was the kick-off of the new series (S49E01) of "Later...with Jools Holland". With Kings of Leon, Sting and ok, Jack White, it was actually a pretty boring episode, but there was one high light: the performance of 27-year-old, Blue Note recording artist Kandace Springs.

Instead Springs allows her comely alto to become a conduit that touches upon soul, jazz and pop while transforming those aforementioned influences into a personalized sound that reveals itself effortlessly. “The artists who have inspired me the most all sang so naturally,” Springs says. “That helped me find my own sound.”

I really liked the song 'Talk to Me' that she played. I juke another recording since I can not juke the Later recording, due to some silly block by the BBC. Here is the link to the Later recording: https://youtu.be/MwGikmk_w1Y

And I'm already looking forward to next week episode of Later... with Jools Holland, with Beth Orton, Madness and The Divine Comedy
